I'm posting a simple,and stupid command-line utility
https://github.com/degski/svg2png to convert svg to png (as SFML does not support that format out of the box and there seem to be few on the ground).
It is based on sf-svg, all the credits go to Kamil Koczurek (github.com/kamirr).
I've released a 64-bit statically linked windows executable [in the releases section of the github repository], virustotal.com report linked.
If you have a folder of svg-files to convert (I had 222 of them), this saves you loads of time, and the results are altogether satisfying.
